A collection piece of short poems I have only put on display for one social media outlet, instagram. Rather than being received well, I hope It resonates with readers even for a small instance, just maybe it has some impact. All are very short in creation and stem from a spur of the moment wants for art or a creative outlet, with that intention in mind before putting pen to paper it should as well spark your own mind maybe more than you had been once aware of.

I

You sing sweet poisons in my ear

Whispering of futures but-

You're never really there

Your mind drifts to places

You know we will never meet but-

Your eyes still set on me

II

I do not carry an intensity

That exists as burning passions

I grip at waves

That ebb and etch their way inside me

I let the shift of tides

Guide my changing moods and-

My heart of want brims, than burns

III

Dig nails deep, so deep

Until they are lost, resurfaced and chipped

Claw at skin, rigid and rough

Until your nails bleed, breathe again

Until we sing again

Paw at places that will leave you

Grasp the voices that escape and-

Cling to people you adore

Until we let go

You must let go and-

Do it all again

I wonder what it would be if we all just let each other be, as intimate and vulnerable as are souls allowed. Built up passions could never restrain, the heart would burst forth in hunger and mourning and how thrilling it would seem to never regret, lament on hesitations. How endearing it would seem to let our softness navigate, let our emotions entangle and enthrall so naturally instead of building thicker walls. Oh, how Liberating.
